    Abstract: A system for controlling sensor fusion can include a processor and a memory. The memory can store a sensor data adjustment module, a sensor fusion module, and a communications module. The sensor data adjustment module can include instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: (1) calculate reliability scores for sensors and (2) multiply values of data, produced by the sensors, by the reliability scores to produce a scored input value. The sensor fusion module can include instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause the scored input value to be processed by a reservoir computing network in a manner that realizes the sensor fusion. The communications module can include instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause one or more readout values, based on the sensor fusion, to be communicated to an automated vehicle technology system to control movement of a vehicle.
